Reason I’m asking is because I’m not allowed to have my phone on the shop floor the app is really useful but it sucks to have to write the numbers down away from the machine . I have a Ti-84 I’m sure would be capable of spitting out the numbers just don’t know how to make that happen. I do understand you have put a lot of work into what I’m asking for and also that you make money off of selling your app. I did buy it best tool I’ve ever bought. No hard feelings if you aren’t interested , just figured it’s worth asking.

Thanks. I'm sure it's possible, but I've never written a complex program on a Ti-84. It took me about 2 months to write that section of the app. Sounds like you may need to show your boss the app and try to talk him into letting you use it on the shop floor.
